Aug 15, 2024 · Witness protection. Hiding out from debt collectors, a cue maker that has owners cues for years, etc. Speaking of witness protection, I fell into the trap of watching some flat earth stuff on youtube.

Aug 25, 2024 · R42, yes! You're right--I was thinking of The Day the Earth Stood Still. Thank you for your kind correction!

Aug 9, 2024 · Go down to the airport and top off the tank (after putting ten gals of Sunoco 260 in it) w cessna fuel at 160 octane or some shit. Then we headed for the straight strips of Earth City. Perfect 1/8ths and 1/4ths (Quarters.) Many a title changed hands there over the years!! Uh oh. I'm doing the old man reminiscing thing again. Better grab my meds ...
